At Howden, we’re not just building a business—we’re rewriting the rules of what a global insurance broker can be.

And now, it’s your turn to be part of something extraordinary.

From three people and a dog to over 22,000 employees across 56 countries, we’ve grown into a $4bn revenue powerhouse with bold ambitions: to become a $13bn business with 40,000 people by 2030.

We’re launching our US retail platform with the same entrepreneurial spirit that’s driven our success worldwide- and we’re looking for trailblazers to help shape the future.

Why Howden?

You’ll Own It

• With 6,000 employee shareholders owning 34% of the company, our unique ownership model means you’re not just joining a team—you’re building a business you truly own.

You’ll Be Empowered

• We’re a destination for talent where people are trusted to look after their clients and grow together.
  
  You’ll have the freedom to lead, backed by global scale and local expertise.

You’ll Be Part of Something Bigger

• Our integrated platform spans broking, reinsurance, and MGA capabilities—giving you access to everything you need to deliver for clients and build something remarkable.

What your day will look like

As a Producer with Howden Private Client, you’ll be part of a growing team that is redefining what it means to serve high-net-worth individuals and families.

This role blends relationship building, risk advocacy, and entrepreneurial drive.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

• Build and execute a personal sales plan to meet annual revenue and growth objectives.
• Prospect strategically — leveraging centers of influence, referrals, and your own networking — to identify new opportunities.
• Conduct thoughtful risk reviews and coverage assessments, uncovering exposures and recommending solutions.
• Develop and deliver high-quality proposals that reflect Howden’s consultative approach and market strength.
• Collaborate with account managers, claims advocates, and marketing specialists to ensure seamless service from proposal to renewal.
• Stay closely connected with clients — not just at renewal, but year-round — providing proactive advice and positioning yourself as their trusted risk advocate.
• Partner with carriers to negotiate and place coverage tailored to complex and unique client needs.
• Contribute to building the Howden Private Client presence in your community through networking, events, and thought leadership.
• Keep accurate and current records in CRM and reporting systems, leveraging data to prioritize and plan effectively.
• Continuously grow your expertise by keeping up with emerging risks, market developments, and innovative insurance solutions.

At Howden, we believe insurance is more than a policy- It’s about resilience, relationships, and trust.

Producers here don’t just “sell insurance”; they advocate for clients, shape risk strategies, and build lasting partnerships.

You’ll have the independence to grow your business, backed by the resources, culture, and international reach of one of the fastest-growing brokerages in the world.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Active Property & Casualty license (multi-state authority preferred).
• 4+ years of success as a producer or advisor, ideally with high-net-worth or private client accounts.
• Proven ability to prospect, network, and convert opportunities into long-term relationships.
• Strong consultative communication skills — able to listen, question, and tailor solutions to client needs.
• Adept at navigating complex insurance placements and negotiations.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, with the drive to build your own portfolio inside a supportive global platform.
• Comfort using CRM systems, carrier platforms, and Microsoft Office to stay organized and efficient.
• Team-oriented approach — willing to partner closely with colleagues across claims, service, and leadership to deliver exceptional outcomes.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define.

Our business succeeds by allowing our people to make a mark in the areas they care about most: personal development, volunteering, and fundraising for charity, or creating new insurance products that address society’s greatest challenges.

And we know that separate home and work lives don't really exist.

If you're happy and healthy at home, you're more likely to be happy and fulfilled at work – and vice versa.

That's why we do our best to support our people in every aspect of their lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Howden we value diversity - there is no one Howden ‘personality type’.

Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

• Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new
• We support each other, in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges
• We are determined to make a positive difference, at work and beyond

We consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness, and respect – regardless of age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or family circumstances.

Our sustainability promise

We’re on a life-long journey to become an ever-more sustainable group.

It's a commitment to taking care of our people and the world we live in, to doing good business, and to making a positive impact wherever we can.
